I have nothing but good things to say about the F9 people I met at both the job fair and interview. It was very upsetting to not get the offer at the end of the day. Good group of people over at F9.
I know they can't hire everyone, but I really do feel badly for the good guys that truly want to be here but somehow fail to get the nod.
I know a gentleman in my class who interviewed 3 times before he finally got hired - he's a great guy and a walking testament to perseverance.
I really have no idea if F9 is likely to call a candidate for a second try or if they give points for perseverance. I hope they do. Any thoughts insiders?
In the old days - like at WN - it almost seemed like a pre-requisite to interview twice - few were hired on the first try. Of course it's a different climate now - thankfully!
Keep your chin up gents! There's something great out there for you - life is not random (my belief and I'm sticking to it.
